According to a computer programmer, the code for Healthcare.gov is unfixable and should be scrapped. Mike Adams, also the editor of Natural News, describes himself as having a "strong IT background running large R&D projects." He finds "critical design failures" in the code. He looked at the part of the code for Healthcare.gov that the public can access. He found many rookie mistakes, including typos, and much "Latin filler script" used as a placeholder for unfinished applications. These are actual parts of the code for Healthcare.gov found by Adams:

"Fill In this with actual content. Lorem Ipsum"

"Notices are official messages that lorem ipsum."

"'Misssing Password"

"This is not a valid organazation ID."

resources['ffe.ee.myAccount.home.specialEnrollment.description2'] = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.'

Here's one hard to follow instruction:

"You need to send the Marketplace proof that you are not enrolled in Medicaid or the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Examples of documents you can send include Letter from Medicaid or CHIP." (Yeah, right. Can you imagine calling Medicaid and asking for a letter stating that you are NOT enrolled in Medicaid?)

Adams observes that the system calls over 1,000 resources just to load one page. He asks:

To what lengths will Obama go to try to cover-up this disastrous mess by causing some other crisis as a distraction.

Good point. My eyes on are on the Obama administration and any sudden problems that hijack the news. To see the article about this in Natural News go to: http://www.naturalne...l#ixzz2hTy6DDEf
